Clamping Glass Shelf Supports 5 mm Bore - Pro Value Series HE282-23-716

Clamping Glass Shelf Supports 5 Mm Bore For Glass

Clamping glass shelf supports 5 mm bore give you a dedicated way to hold glass shelving using a 5 mm cabinet bore, so you can set up adjustable storage runs that match standard system holes. These Pro Value Series supports use nickel plated steel, which provides a hard metal body that resists day-to-day contact in active shelving layouts. Each support has a 5 mm bore connection with a 5/16 inch long pin, so the body seats positively in a typical shelf side panel before any load is applied. Two shelf rest pins on each support measure 3/16 inch in diameter and 1/4 inch long, which creates a defined bearing surface under the glass edge. Pins are wrapped with rubber padding, so the glass rests against a cushioned surface that resists slippage during normal use. Shelf rest pins accept shelves from 5/8 to 7/8 inch thick, covering common glass shelf thicknesses in many cabinet and closet projects.

Key Shelf Support Details That Save Time

• The 5 mm bore layout lets these shelf supports drop into standard 5 mm system holes, so existing case sides or panel drills can be used without layout changes.
• The nickel plated steel construction builds on a rigid steel core with a plated outer layer, so contact points stay metal-to-metal at the cabinet while the visible areas match other nickel-tone hardware.
• The 5/16 inch long main pin gives each support enough depth into the panel, so the load path runs directly into the sidewall instead of relying on shallow engagement.
• The twin 3/16 inch diameter, 1/4 inch long shelf rest pins create two contact points under the shelf edge, so the glass is supported on a defined footprint rather than a single point.
• The rubber padding around the shelf rest pins cushions the glass contact area, so the edge sits on a non-metallic surface that helps resist movement during normal loading and unloading.
• The ability to accept glass shelves from 5/8 to 7/8 inch thick covers a range of common shelf sizes, so one part number serves multiple glass thicknesses in the same run.

Mounting Glass Shelves Using 5 Mm Bore Supports

These glass shelf supports are designed around a 5 mm bore connection, so they fit cabinets and panels drilled for 5 mm system pins used in many adjustable shelf layouts. The 5/16 inch long mounting pin extends into the panel, so each support is anchored through a solid depth of material before any shelf is set in place. Two 3/16 inch diameter, 1/4 inch long pins project outward from the body, so the glass shelf rests on defined supports rather than relying on the main bore pin. Rubber padding on those projecting pins creates a cushioned surface between steel and glass, so the edge seats firmly without metal-to-glass contact. Because the shelf rest pins are sized to accept glass shelves from 5/8 to 7/8 inch thick, a single installation pattern can handle multiple glass thickness choices across a project.

Where These Nickel Plated Supports Fit Best

These Pro Value Series glass shelf supports sit in the shelf, closet, and garage organization category, so they work within projects that rely on adjustable storage using system holes. The 5 mm bore and 5/16 inch long pin focus the part on cabinets and panels already drilled for 5 mm hardware, so they integrate with common European-style casework layouts and shop drilling patterns. With nickel plated steel construction, the visible portion of the support aligns with other nickel finished shelf hardware, so row installations can maintain a consistent hardware appearance. The two 3/16 inch diameter shelf rest pins extend 1/4 inch, so they project enough to carry the edge of a glass shelf from 5/8 to 7/8 inch thick while still staying tight to the side panel. Because the pins have rubber padding, glass shelves gain a cushioned contact that suits display, closet, and other interior shelving where direct steel-to-glass points are not desired for regular use.

Details That Support Consistent Shelf Alignment

The HE282-23-716 clamping glass shelf supports use a 5 mm bore body paired with a 5/16 inch long pin, so each piece locates repeatably in the same depth from panel to panel. That consistent bore fit keeps the resting pins at a predictable projection, so shelf edges line up when multiple supports share the same system row. The twin 3/16 inch diameter shelf rest pins present two spaced contact points under the glass, so the load is shared along the edge instead of concentrated at one location. Each pin length of 1/4 inch limits how far the shelf sits from the side panel, which helps maintain a tight, uniform reveal down a vertical run of glass shelves. Rubber padding wrapped around the rest pins grips the glass contact area, so shelves tend to stay seated at their position once placed on the supports during normal loading. Since the design accepts shelves from 5/8 to 7/8 inch thick, installers can hold the same vertical alignment across glass of different thicknesses in the same cabinet or closet line.
